Right on. That's certainly possible. I could see the pens getting very frustrated if it's like 5-0 late, too. Can't say I'd blame them, either.

Re: The NHL Thread (where the Presidents Trophy matters!)
 

One minute in and the pens look gassed already. I don't get it. Let's see how this goes.

Re: The NHL Thread (where the Presidents Trophy matters!)
 

Penguins know they have a game tonight, right?

Re: The NHL Thread (where the Presidents Trophy matters!)
 

Really hate these first periods when the Caps dominate and don't score. Leaving the door open too much.

Re: The NHL Thread (where the Presidents Trophy matters!)
 

I don't like how the push at the beginning didn't yield anything. And I actually think the Pens are pushing fairly hard themselves, as much as they can after that initial ten minutes. Good pk there from the Caps. Feels like the Caps are carrying a lot of defensive swallowing look they achieved in game 6 but it hasn't turned into a lead and that's terrifying right now. Pens are one odd man rush from pulling ahead.

Re: The NHL Thread (where the Presidents Trophy matters!)
 

That was a pretty even first period IMO

Pens need to better around their own crease though

Re: The NHL Thread (where the Presidents Trophy matters!)
 

I think Pens pull this off. Caps started off well but the longer they go not scoring the more they are gonna start questioning themselves.

Re: The NHL Thread (where the Presidents Trophy matters!)
 

Idk. First period, my perspective was a home team hustling and making great attempts and I see a visiting team barely on offensive attacks and moving slowly all over the ice. Sure, shots were just about even, if not even by the time intermission started, but seemed like a pretty one-sided period to me.

Re: The NHL Thread (where the Presidents Trophy matters!)
 

My god. Here it comes.

Re: The NHL Thread (where the Presidents Trophy matters!)
 

Remember when I said this?

Re: The NHL Thread (where the Presidents Trophy matters!)
 

I love that Doc Emrick is doing his job to stay objective and keep the game exciting, but he should just admit to the world that there's only ever been one possible outcome in this game.

Re: The NHL Thread (where the Presidents Trophy matters!)
 

MAF just laughing now after that big save. I think they know they've got them. If I'm right, sorry Caps fans.

Re: The NHL Thread (where the Presidents Trophy matters!)
 

Pretty bummed the nbcsports live sight is not working for me. Stuck with just checking updates on nhl.com

Re: The NHL Thread (where the Presidents Trophy matters!)
 

I'm pretty sure they could take MAF out of the game, leave the net completely open for the 3rd period, and the Caps still wouldn't score.

Re: The NHL Thread (where the Presidents Trophy matters!)
 

I'm not sure I wanna watch anymore. This is making me fucking crazy.

Re: The NHL Thread (where the Presidents Trophy matters!)
 

It's embarrassing how many Oilers fans are at Honda Center

:lol Ducks are such a joke. Had a Oilers fan kiss my Oilers patch on my shoulder though..don't know how I feel about that.

Re: The NHL Thread (where the Presidents Trophy matters!)

Re: The NHL Thread (where the Presidents Trophy matters!)
 

You betcha!! Sporting my McDavid All-Star jersey

Re: The NHL Thread (where the Presidents Trophy matters!)
 

I don't even know why I watched. Fuck May 10.

Re: The NHL Thread (where the Presidents Trophy matters!)
 

Ovie is a -2 tonight too. I mean this is just stereotypical Caps.

Re: The NHL Thread (where the Presidents Trophy matters!)
 

Unreal. Fuck the Caps. I'm at a loss for words after this one. What a fucked franchise. Mickey Mouse fucking clowns.

Re: The NHL Thread (where the Presidents Trophy matters!)
